The big finale to our canning efforts of the harvest season is the Crook's annual cider party. We have participated in this event for 8 years or so (we forget the exact number), and it is one of our family traditions that everyone eagerly awaits each year. We met last Saturday morning and spent about 12 hours making and bottling delicious apple cider. The rain lightly drizzled on us during the morning, but by afternoon the sun was shining again.
Pictured here are Emily and Megan busily washing and cutting at the outdoor sink, and Roger squeezing the juice using Jim Crook's homemade press:
Since we are so high-tech now, we can show you the actual process in this video filmed by Kevin, edited by April, and starring Jim Crook and assorted neighbors and friends.
